First -- they were very accommodating with the special order. The staff had no issue modifying the sandwich, which is always appreciated when you're looking for vegetarian options at a classic deli. The sandwich came out fresh with crisp lettuce, tomato, and nicely toasted bread. Simple, but done right. The fries were hot and well-seasoned -- good texture and portion size. Coke was cold and served quickly. Service overall was fast and friendly, and the place was clean with that traditional neighborhood deli feel. Looking at the menu, there are quite a few items that can be customized, which makes this a solid stop even if you don't eat meat. Bottom line: quick service, flexible kitchen, and dependable comfort food. I'd come back, especially for an easy casual lunch.

First off, they kept stringing the driver along on when the food was going to be ready, and by the time it got out, it was all cold because of how long it was out. But it still got here, we were going to have a late dinner, but... instead of one of the sandwiches and the fried pickles, we got, instead... a note. "We're out of the Cuban. Please call blahblahblah. Sorry." My roommate has to be up in six hours for work, and you can't even just message the driver to have them tell us to pick something else or something? My roommate had to sacrifice her own dinner so the other could eat and I'm here scrambling to find her something hot and still open for delivery. Management was zero help- they immediately tried to chuck the Grubhub driver under the bus as "it's hard to get in contact with people who order about stuff like this and oftentimes the drivers end up dropping the orders because of it". You didn't even try, guys. You could have saved this with a text message or a phone call and you couldn't even do THAT. My roommate can't eat a "sorry" note, guys. After some talking, management authorized a full refund, which I suppose is the least they can do about this, and Grubhub also refunded the price of the sandwich and a five-dollar voucher for all the trouble.

For me, it's far and away a bite of an olive burger. That combination of charbroiled burger and olive sauce does it for me every time. This month I was elated we got to review one of the originators. Weston's Kewpee Burger is a Lansing institution. There's little disputing that. Situated downtown on Washington Square and using a recipe for olive sauce that is older than 95 years, the restaurant is nostalgic in all the right ways. The décor is unapologetic in referencing their history and with good reason. Serving comfort food with quality service to downtown's current movers and shakers and former residents who have returned and want an instant reminder of home is something they should be proud of. In pre-pandemic times, it wasn't unusual for a line out the door during the lunch time rush. During the pandemic, Weston's ownership was among the most compassionate with their staff and worked hard to keep the business open even as much of their traditional foot traffic has yet to return. However, you can tell the folks that work here enjoy not just one another but making great food for their customers. Essential During my visits to Weston's this month, I cheerfully tried the Kolossal Olive Burger. Appropriately named as this sandwich is massive, the burger perfectly cooked, and topped with a heaping serving of olive sauce (Chopped, not minced) just the way I like it. There are several local establishments that offer an olive burger and even a few national chains that attempt to offer local flavor. Few of them compared to this tried-and-true version. As I stood in line, there were two gentlemen from south of Jackson who were in town exploring the Capital City. They both ordered olive burgers and as I walked out, I asked them how it was. "It doesn't matter much what else we find today; this burger was worth the drive." Indeed. Comfort Classics My culinary comrades and I sampled several other items off the menu. The Turkey Burger was juicy, surprisingly flavorful, and delightfully crispy- which is atypical of most turkey burgers. The onion rings were solid, but not as good as the sweet potato fries or the regular French fries. Both are seasoned brilliantly- brown sugar on the sweet potato and a light dusting of Greek seasoning on the regular. The chili was hearty and balanced- not too many beans or tomatoes or not enough meat and welcomed on a chilly January afternoon. The restaurant also offers several traditional daily specials- meatloaf and mashed potatoes, bean and ham soup, pot roast, tuna pasta salad, or mac & cheese, all depending on the day. I was fortunate to be in on a day that the goulash was available. Packed with herbs, tomatoes, and ground beef, huddled up with macaroni spirals and served with garlic Texas toast, it was an absolute hit and I had to arm wrestle others in my house for the leftovers. Award Winning The Weston Kewpee Burger team were recently awarded the judges award for their olive burger at a competition on South Beach, Miami. In honor of that recognition, the restaurant now offers a Miami burger- a crumbled burger with a cheesy olive sauce. This olive burger 2.0 is my new favorite in town. It differs from the traditional olive burger in yummy, savory ways. The brininess of the olive sauce somehow works even better in this iteration and the crunchy, flavorful crumbles are a wonderful twist. The best innovations are rooted in tradition.

The fries were perfect as they should be and you can always expect. I can no longer frequent restaurants that do not see me as a fellow human. I was not greeted. Employees argued about how my order was taken, no toilet paper in the bathroom. I was lucky to get out of the vibe the same as I entered. I'm guessing the franchisee is losing touch. So overall value is one star, excellent product one star. Stars refused for staff experience, mood, and bathroom condition. In the future I will stick to my usual places, Moriarties Pub on Michigan Avenue or Dagwoods.
